Safety Pilot

This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot shuts off 
the heater if there is not enough fresh air. 

Automatic Ignition System

This heater is equipped with an automatic control system. This system requires no matches, or batteries to light 
heater.

Thermostatic Heat Control Module  

This heater has a control module with a thermostat sensing bulb. Set 
temperature with remote control. This results in the greatest heater com-
fort and may result in lower gas bills. 

Manual Override Control System

This heater has two operation functions: Remote Control and Manual 
Override Control. The Remote Control has a transmitter, which requires 
three AAA batteries and electric power outlet to operate. In the event of 
a power outage, you can operate the heater by manual override.
